Summary: Best on the market but......
Review: This fly simulator is the best and realistic on the market by far, but there's no support at all.

If you don't have a clue of how real planes work, it not going to be fun at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Panels. Good game.
Review: This game has the best and most realistic panels of any other flight sim game on the market. Every switch, dial, etc.,.. is THERE. And the panels are crisp, colorful and clear. The problem is.....scenery.... I think the makers held back on scenery in order to improve framerates. If this is what they planned, they succeeded, this game runs very smoothly.

So if you want to feel like you're in a real cockpit, absolutely no other game comes close. The developers obviously worked very hard on that. NOw don't get me wrong, most of the scenery is acceptable, if a little "flat." Some of the city scenery is actually quite good, but overall, if you like to look at scenery, and if you want to see past 20 miles, and you are expecting detailed airports, you may not like what you see.

Look at it this way; flight realism in this game is top notch, so get those other games for scenery, and get this one to learn how to fly an airplane as realistically as a home computer expericence can allow. You can always buy scenery as an add-on for this game, something that is now available.

Oh yeah, I hear people complain that they've bought this game for 8 year old Tommy and he didn't like it. This is a true flight simulation experience, and not so much a game, so little kids probably won't take to it!

Summary: Read before you buy
Review: Well, I had seen reviews of this game. It seemed like a good game, so I ordered it and guess what? It wouldn't run on my computer. The basic system requirements for fly2k are: Windows 95/98/NT 4.0, 350 MB of hard disk and a Pentium 200MHz machine. I have a 360 MHz machine with plenty of disk space and it simply wouln't run. Oh, and don't get me started on the installation process. I had to start over four times. My advice is if you're looking for a good flight simulator, stick with flight simulator 98. you'll get what you're lookinf for (at least for it's price). Don't waste your time and money on fly2k.
